Fixtures →Points Table →Sydney Thunder complete guide: full squad with player profiles, captain, coach, home ground, kit colours, title history and every BBL|16 fixture.
The Sydney Thunder are western Sydney's green machine, champions in 2015-16 and home of the league's most infamous night — the all-out-for-15 collapse in 2022. They play home matches at ENGIE Stadium (Sydney Showground) in Sydney, wear a kit built on their signature colours (home strip in the club's primary colourway with contrasting trim — described here, no official logos reproduced), and are captained by David Warner.
